Thanks for the photos.

I may be wrong, but I think that REO is a REO the Fifth model, the last car Ransom Eli Olds designed, as he believed it exhausted his engineering knowledge and he didn’t know how to develop the automobile any further (Olds of course had designed the Curved Dash Oldsmobile, so the Fifth was in his experience a considerably complicated machine).

Also a nice gasoline White - less famous than their steamers, but still an exclusive car in its time.

Maybe it’s twisted my mind went there, but I would be curious to see one of these go through a modern crash test. I can only imagine how fast they fold up
